On This Date in Minnesota History: September 30

September 30, 1910 – A strange phenomenon took place in the northern sky shortly before 8 this evening and was viewed by all citizens in Barnesville, Minn., who happened to be on the streets at that time.

A dazzling streak of light shot east from the northern sky leaving a brilliant path, visible for fully five minutes.

A few stars fell to the east and south of the streak. A meteor is believed to have fallen nearby.
